The concerned video of this post which you can find here, or in the video thumbnail player below, was updated yesterday. I was a bit busy so comparatively this post goes late.

Last Wednesday on 20th, I had another brief railfanning session at PDPK-Padmapukur Railway Station. I had the oppertunity to spot the arrival of the 22836 Puri Shalimar Weekly Superfast Express to Shalimar Railway station via PDPK. To my surprise, the train was being hauled by a Howrah WAP-4 loco no. 22610. While this train usually gets a VSKP loco, mostly a VSKP WAP4 and WAM4, Howrah WAP4 for this train is pretty rare, so it was a pleasant surprise no doubt.

Find the video of arrival of this train that I made which you can find below. There are two parts of the same - in the first part the train comes in and in the second part, the loco leaves Shalimar via PDPK towards the loco shed for it's next duty.

Watch the video of the loco coming through with the train:
